and this compares to something like bush had like 231 and i think that clinton had 247. so it's not a huge gap, but it's noteworthy. i talked to the white house and said what's up? why are we not putting people up? we need more seats. they were a bit defensive and said we have been up against these senate republicans who aren't doing anything. and i got an analogy putting coffee beans into a coffee maker and it doesn't matter if you put 3,000 beans or 100 beans in the coffee maker, you are going to get one cup at a time and you can't basically put forward lots more nominees and expect the senate to do more because you put forward more. they are going to block all of these things. so it is kind of a 1-2 punch here with the reason we have this problem. it's the senate republican obstructionism. you can look at the nominees. it's senate republicans blocking this. >> it's like i understand why the white house may get tired of putting people up there because they know they are going to be shot down. >> why would adding more nominees go make it go faster? >> it won't. we shoul
